Hell Gette

Hell Gette (born in Karabulak, Kazakhstan in 1986) is a refugee immigrant currently living in Munich, Germany.In past interviews, she has reminisced on the backyard garden of her hometown and the plants, air, and insects thatshe can no longer see. The motherland, the refugee camp, and the severe changes of the world alter how she sees herreality – a world that we can no longer evaluate within our present circumstance, as the world of cyberpunk oftenbrings us escape to more idyllic views virtually. Gette’s works inform us of a future where the primitive, the material,and the essential are made bleak and replaced by virtual, mediated, and projected realities. In these realities, thingsare reproduced in endless twisted chains. When we are able to express our feeling and memories through digitally coded emojis, her world, built by the virtual images, will gradually become plausible. Then, eventually, it bleeds into reality.
